have a financing question for you car buying gurus

[intrigued]

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone could help me make an educated guess on how much per month it would cost top lease an 08 CTS that had an MSRP of about 45k. I'd be open to either 24 or 39 month leases though I would prefer the 24 month. my goal is to have the lease payment come out to around 500 a month with an absolute max of 600 a month. I would have 5000 to put down and I need 15k miles a year. Is the 500-600 a month possible.

All my prior car shopping have been purchases so leasing is nwe and a little confusing to me.

Not right off the back, no.

Unless you have a wiling dealership...

Though give it about six months.....

Rumor that I heard-GM may offer some good lease rates on the CTS to really get these cars out there....a mistake they didn't do with the Lucrene.. so you could be lucky.....

I figured they wouldn't do it right out of the gates either. there are sure to be a ton of retail sales right off the bat. I had a friend who got a lease on a loaded 43k 2007 g35x. He put down only 1100 bucks and pays 630 a month for 24 months and 25k miles a year. I'm hoping for something similar though I'd be willing to stretch it to 3 years and lower the milage to keep the monthly at 600 or less. I'm going to jump all over any comparable offers. hopefully the lease offeres start sooner rather than later.

It also is going to depend on what model you want....

If you're willing to get a lower end model, you might get a better deal...
